Show Reviews

I've gotta disagree with the earlier reviewer's C+ rating - this is a strong show in the middle of a superb tour.

Seven Below gets an intricate funk workout that keeps referring to the song's original pulse and comes smartly back to the song after 21:00 or so. Tweezer is a monstrous roaring creature that gets as deep as 2/28 (but nowhere near as high). Simple is delicate, then spacey, and lovely throughout. And you even get canonical takes on Pebbles and (ugh) Jibboo to close the two sets!

If you don't like the 'Phish 2.0' style - those long hazy hypnagogic uptempo noise-jams, the intricate unresolved experimentation, the relative sonic homogeneity - you won't like 2/20/03. That's OK. But while this show is less of a crowd-pleaser than the 2/26 party or the 2/28 church service, it's a nocturnal preview of the chemical carousel ride that would take place in Limestone less than six months later. Well-chosen songs, shadowy ocean-floor jams, and collective creativity as yet undulled by rock'n'roll excess...what more could you want?

This one's as strong as 2/16 but in a very different register. Get it.

What’s to be said about this show? How about 5 fucking songs clocking in at 20minutes! I think this is the first time I ever heard this show. I don’t remember it....ANYWAY, yeah, great show! I’m still digesting this, there’s A LOT to digest. Still listening too...there’s A LOT to listen to.

For the record, I am not a 2.0 hater. At the time, yeah, I wasn’t into the sound. I’m starting to realize now that it wasn’t ALL Phish’s fault, I think I may have just burned out on Phish. Just like every other super Phish fan, I listened to WAY too much Phish for my own good for about ...oh...almost 10 years when 2003 rolled around. They were changing and I just wasn’t into it. I can see how fucking up the arranged sections of songs would piss me off. I mean, that’s half of what Phish is about right? Long intricate composed prog-rock pieces that were PERFECTLY played, every time. The other half of Phish is the improvisational part. I’ve always liked equal parts of both, and I still do! If Phish was flubbing through the composed sections today I don’t know if I would be as into them. Something else I wasn’t that into back then were the new songs. Waves, Jibboo, Seven Below, Pebbles...didn’t really care for any of them. I know...me, right? Totally me. I’m thrilled to hear ANY of those songs now. Except maybe Jibboo, seriously...sorry.
Now when I listen back to 2.0 Phish, I can appreciate it. Mainly because I can skip through the composed section and get to the K-rispy space jamz. My all time favorite effect that Trey uses is that DIRTY flanged distortion shit. LOVE IT. I always lose it when he turns that hot mess on...2.0 is FULL of this effect, maybe ALMOST too much. That’s why I love it all the more in 3.0. You’re not gonna hear it every night, and when you do... it’s a dirty, dirty treat from Papa Trey.

So...Chicago. Great all-around playing. I’ve only done one listen through the composed parts and everything sounds awesome...but who gives a fuck....the jams are fucking sick. I’m honestly really digging this show and I think it’s going to be put into steady rotation over the next couple of weeks.

I haven’t listened to a ton of 2.0. I’m saving it for retirement. I like that I have a WHOLE era of Phish that I haven’t killed yet. I’ve heard a lot of 1.0, just about all of 3.0 and not so much of 2.0. When I’m old and more gray I’ll be able to slice into some choice Phish cuts from the K-rispy Space Ox Jamz era. You know what else I haven’t listened to? The Storage Jam. That’s right....saving it.

Phish is back! Last pre-hiatus show was 9/24/2000 in Minneapolis. @MrsRowsdower, myself, and an old college / phish buddy jump in the car and head to Chicago in February.

We checked in at the Sheraton O'Hare and slammed a few mini bottles of Jack Daniels from the mini bar. We quickly headed out in search of food and drink. After a burger and a few beers we dropped L in the parking lot of the Rosemont as planes flew overhead.

The show itself was different than any other show I'd seen or heard before. Long, exploratory jamming all over the place. The Tweezer explored many themes but wouldn't fully develop until 8 days later. 7 Below is a monster that must be heard.

After having our faces melted we found a bar playing Phish and closed out the night there. When we got back to our hotel we found the pool was open 24 hours for hotel guests. So we went down and went for a swim at 3:00 am. It was the craziest scene with a bunch of spun Phish heads jumping in the pool at 3:00 am.

Finally we went back to up to room to crash only to find the horrible news story of the Great White fire at The Station in Rhode Island. It was such a crash back to reality from the great night we'd had with friends.

Five out of FIFTEEN TOTAL SONGS played this night exceeded 18 minutes in length. Let that sink in for a second.
[Spoiler]

Yeah huh. Okay let's do this thing.

Continuing the trend of purely seismic show opening sequences, Rift > Rock and Roll explodes out of the gates. Short term memory loss, in some cases, is a good thing, and it feels as though the band as already light years past their rather "normal" 2.18.03 Denver show. Rift itself is punctuated by its placement in the opening slot, deliver frenetic energy from the opening guitar trill. It is additionally highlighted by a smoldering 10-minute straight f*** your face type 1 Rock and Roll. This combo blitzes the arena with energy, and those of you lucky to have brought a change of pants, well, well I've said too much. Moving on. Guyute continues yet another Winter 03 trend of placing highly compositional songs early on in the set. Personally, not a big Guyute fan, but this one really carries on the energy created by the 1-2 opening segment and finds a superb home in the #3 slot. Driver comes next and those of you who are familiar with me on this board or in real life know the personal connections I have to Driver. It makes me smile and think of my brother whenever I hear it. It is always most welcomed. Waves in the 5 spot in the first set?! Don't mind if I do. Listening to the AUD, it was clear that Phish meant business the way they were piecing together this show. Waves delivers as Waves always delivers: dreamy ripples at first, frothing double-overheads at the peak. Ebbing and flowing through the jam, Trey jumps on his short board and rips this Waves up and down - if it had barreled, it could have fit both Mike and Trey in it, easily. Waves recedes into Simple and here we are, the beginning, of the jaw-dropping highlight sequence of the evening. Simple breaks into a muted, cotton-ball-y jam right out of the gates. Whatever tone/pedal combo Trey is using, I DIG it. This is one of those jams that I can't quite describe the music with words - the jam has more of a *feel* than anything else. It feels airy, but heavy. It feels like it is played on a backdrop of tropical colors, but also midnight ones. It fades into deep space after it takes us for a walk on the beach. It is fantastic. Jibboo comes in next, and if your jaw isn't on the floor at this point in the set, there is a strong likelihood the volume on your receiver or computer says "MUTE." This Jibboo is indisputably in the top-3 ever played, alongside 7.4.99 and 8.14.04. The initial jam segment is blistering. Mike had more bounce in his line, Fish has more groove in his rhythm, and Page has more texture in his layers. Now, by reading some of these 2003 reviews you might be saying, "Man, that Funky is really a Trey guy." No, I am not. I am a Mike guy all the way - but I gotta give credit where credit is due - Trey steals the show. He catches fire during the first jam segment and I am convinced 100% that is what led to the second jam segment out of the back-end of the song. Right when you think Jibboo is winding down back into the refrain, Trey lifts it right back up. I mean blastoff! The WHOLE band starts to swing. The swanky groove that follows is must-hear material. A+, 10/10, holy crap improvisation. Fraught with energy, lock-step timing, and grooooooviness, this Jibboo (and its second jam) ends of the highest of highs.

What better way to start Set 2 than Tweezer. It always sets a tone, some sort of tone: rocking, funky, groovy, or sultry, you can tell what Tweezer will deliver, usually, by the tempo and swagger of the first 90 seconds. This one goes into the depths of the musical sea. The first three minutes of the jam produce a tone-down funk aspect that is quite engaging. The band then dissolves into quintessential 2003 murk for the majority of the jam before returning to a spirited and arousing climax! For me personally, I can do without the middle portion of the jam, but the first segment and final segment are killer. PYITE comes next and finds a PERFECT home batting behind Tweezer. Love this 1-2 combo. It is short but fills a nice spot in the setlist. Well done. Fast Enough for You again maintains the no-hitter of setlist construction. A+ job, Phish. Pretty sparkles from Page and yawning echoes from Trey hallmark this eerily beautiful rendition of the song. A perfect execution in jam and placement. Seven Below continues all aforementioned trends. Phish is on fire. Wasting little time, this jam shifts into the Page McConnell show. Starting off with crazy fingers piano work and morphing between Clav and (Honner?) Page is the ALL STAR of this version's first 11 minutes... and that only brings us halfway home. The final 11 minutes return to that full band swing we heard in Jibboo. Really, really good stuff rhythmically, melodically, and spiritually. They are locked in. No one takes the reigns in these minutes, it is truly a full-band dynamic. An 18 minute Pebbles closes the set, and for me personally, this is the lowlight of the show... well, lowlight is bad term, as it does not suck... but it does kinda just meanders in some uptempo, distorted noise for a majority of the jam. I never really got into it. Still, the show crushed.

A totally acceptable and fun Golgi starts off the three song encore with a very pretty, very (again) well placed Anything But Me sandwiched in between two high energy crowd favorites... Tweezer Reprise being the other. What a show! Wow!

A show with epic moments, that almost hits legendary status, but not quite.

I enjoy the 1-2 punch of Rift>R&R although Page seems a little out of sink in his singing and things feel a little off in general. Waves is very strong and well played. Simple starts very sloppy but the jam after is very tranquil and pleasant. It's a very ambient and psychedelic jam. Jibboo has a fantastic hose jam to start and has some fantastic peaks.

Tweezer to start a 2nd set almost always means a jam. The jam starts kind of floating around. Trey eventually turns on his super mucky tone and just riffs around for a little bit. It grows darker and darker and is peaky as hell at the end. PYITE crashes in after in the best possible way. Excellent placement midset for Fast Enough For You, it's well played too. This is followed by IMO the best Seven Below ever. The song itself is played perfect The jam starts with some hose and it just seamlessly flows from idea to idea. Sometimes this annoys and bores me but it all works very well to me. They nail the song again at the ending just a magical version. Pebbles and Marbles goes deep into chaos to close the set and has a very long peak (as if this set didn't melt your face enough) just a great high note to end the set.

The encore has a great Anything But Me likely the best version ever.

Overall a fantastic show just great. But It's not flawless and doesn't quite have enough for a 5 star rating in my book.

The day was abnormally warm for the 20th of February in the Midwest. It couldn't have been any better: my first show after the Hiatus, and the excitement was intense on the drive down to Chicago from Milwaukee. This was hindered only for a short period when we were pulled over by an evil cop who gave me a severe scolding and a ticket by the Wisconsin/Illinois border. As we pulled off onto the O'Hare exit right by the Allstate Arena and saw the line of fans, the excitement built again.
We checked into the hotel right next to the arena and went directly to the liquor store across the street to purchase our pre-show brew. The obscene lines coming out of the store had the employees in a panic as all of their booze quickly depleted. After cruising the lot for awhile, we decided to head in after dark as the temperature was steadily dropping from the mild temperatures earlier in the day. While entering the arena, the fans roared at every plane that flew overhead.
I was lucky to score a general admission mail-order ticket, so I was
finally going to be able to see a Phish show indoors at ground level. Me and my friend made our way down to the floor and, amazingly, got to the front of the stage with ease. I couldn't believe I was actually going to see a show from the front row! As the crowd grew bigger my anticipation grew. The feeling going through my body could have been described as similar to what Tony Montana felt in Scarface... and I was cold sober.
When the lights went down and I saw the guys walk onstage I was overcome with excitement. I remember shaking during “Rift” because I was so pumped. “Rock and Roll” kept the energy high and I finally caught my composure during “Driver”. “Waves” was a good new tune to hear and although the jam was short, it was sweet. This song definitely has some good potential.
“Simple” was rather upsetting, as it got to be too sloppy and dark for my taste. I never was a big fan of “Jibboo” until about eight minutes into this one. This is by far the best version ever, with a stunning peak and then a breakdown into a nice grooving riff that picked up and raged out of control to end the set.
The “Tweezer” that started the second set had me frustrated for awhile, but it picked up nicely toward the end. It was nowhere near the monster that was produced at Nassau a week later, but was still decent. “PYITE” got the place raging. The crowd didn't really seem into it that much until then. The “7 Below” that followed was
probably the most underrated version of the song so far. People seem to favor the Gorge version from the summer, but this has a great build-up and the closest to what you can call funk for Phish nowadays. I thought the “Pebbles and Marbles” was not the best way to end the set, and the jam was definitely not one to write home about, but all around I enjoyed myself.
Now that I look back at it, I think this show has two of the best versions of the two new age jam vehicles (“ Jibbo” and “7 Below” ).
Although the rest of the show was sloppy at points, I was just happy to see my favorite band once again.

As of this writing, I'm still fairly new to Phish. I've only been to one show in-person, but—since that transformative experience (August 1st, 2015... I was lucky to see that 26-minute "Tweezer" and I haven't looked back since!)—I've spent a number of months listening to show after show to experience their evolution. This has mostly come in the form of the LivePhish Plus catalog, as I've been listening to SBDs and studio releases in chronological order.

I reveal my listening methodology because this was the first show I seriously consider rating lower than three stars.

To my ears, it has an awkward, sloppy start. I don't think you can call this show's "Guyute" the song's tightest performance, and—while some may dig this and I appreciate how atypical it is—"Rock and Roll" as the second song of the first set is a really strange choice to me given its (in my mind, near-absolute) status as an encore (or otherwise late) tune.

But, as has often been the case for shows I've been down on early, Phish turned it around somehow.

When "Waves" began, I began to warm up to the show just because I like the song so much.

Come the "Simple" jam, it's obvious that this show has some real merit to it.

I'm guessing the early sloppiness I perceived was primarily indicative of a looseness the band was feeling, because the jams in this show really go places. They have some really huge, textural (almost noisy) moments but also some distinct grooves they lock into at other points.

But it's still a somewhat sloppy performance and—even in my young Phish-listening (Phishstening? ugh, sorry) career—this seems like one for experienced and generous ears only (which I suspect may be the case for much of 2.0). The various missteps through composed sections and the experimental character of some of the improvised moments probably preclude a recommendation to beginners.

My first show. Was a long time coming as I was "too young" to hit any shows in the 90s or 2000. It was a Thursday night show so I recruited a friend to make the 4 hour trip down from college to a "hometown" show, stay the night, head back north to work Friday night. We ended up making it to lot late. We walked around for a few minutes and had to head in. First memory was the heat coming out of a venue I've passed by 1000s of times. The seats I pulled were 1st row balcony, around mid court.

Set I:
Lights went down and Rift kicks up, took me a while to soak it all in, after years of wondering it was finally happening, I was THERE. Rock and Roll has always put a smile on my face and it is probably due to this show, the lyrics, significance. After casually and eventually religous listening over the better part of a decade the moment was not lost on me. Guyute next, at this point I was starting to focus solely on the music after taking in the atmosphere. Driver was nice, not the best execution but has some decent work by Trey. As a Round Room fan I enjoyed Waves, but nothing too special compared to what came next.

The highlights of the first set are without a doubt Simple and Jibboo. Jibboo gets a lot of love but don't sleep on the Simple. It starts patiently and keeps that element throughout. Delicate interplay, especially between Trey and Page on the grand. The middle section picks up some steam but keeps the theme of the initial part of the jam. The final segment opens up with deep growls from Trey and takes on a more electronic feel. There really isn't much to subtract or add to make it better, quality version all around. The floorplan was set with the Simple as it carries over into Jibboo. They quickly drop in and again the interplay between Trey and Page stands out (something present throughout this show). It has high energy and multiple peaks even before it gets a dose of funk around the 12:30 mark. From 14 - 17 minutes you can still hear the Jibboo but it almost sounds like it is being mixed with some other composed riffs, not saying it is but it definitely has that feel to it. The final minute or two before the return Jibboo is splattered with peaks. A perfect song for any high energy activities or long drives.

Set II:
A Feb '03 Tweezer, drops into funk early on with Trey and Mike taking charge. A few "bahwow" freakout moments from Trey reminiscent of Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun that pop up a few times after. Trey keeps the lead which include several minutes of running up and down chords where I imagine he carried out his "scan the crowd intently" look with a mild head bob/groove. Some wandering but a quality version overall that grinds to a halt. PYITE had a heavier intro/build up from Trey and has a nice way of falling into Fast Enough for You. Nothing too noteworthy about this version.

Much like the first set, the last two songs shine. Seven Below enters with a slow build and quality interplay between the band. I love Seven Below in general but it always gives Page a nice song to step forward. Halfway through you get some notes from Page that remind me of early Vida Blue material and in comes the funk exchange followed by a few "pindrop" electronic notes heard in Simple before completely returning to Seven Below. Pebbles and Marbles closed out the set getting some distortion from Trey halfway thru venturing away from the song as Page and Fishman maintain the Pebbles feel. Encore lacked after how they closed out the second set, the reprise had a little heavier feel but that's about it.

There are other reviews on this one so I will be brief. I’m not a huge fan of 2003 shows so far and this one does have some warts, but there is something about this show and the jams that warmed my soul up a bit.

Rift has timing problems from Fishman, Rock and Roll is a nice jam, Guyute is pretty good, Driver had some warts, but was a nice cool down song. Waves was good, Simple had some lyric problems again, but had a good jam, as did a lengthy Jibboo to close up a pretty good first set.

Ok folks, here’s where the meat is…Tweezer’s jam is just filthy, nasty tonight and they bring it all back around to end it, which was great to hear instead of a rip-cord move. Punch was ok, but the Landlady portion was an uncertain mess. Fast Enough was also kind of a mess before a very lengthy Seven Below. And this one should be considered a double Seven Below because they do the lyric part twice sandwiching the jam in between. Pebbles also rocked really hard tonight, though there were a few off parts at times.

After all that jamming you technically get a triple encore besides? Yup! Though you get a standard Golgi, a loose Anything But Me, with disjointed vocal phrasing, and a rocking, expected Tweeprise to close up. Not too bad, but not overly great either.

Very good, exploratory jamming tonight! Tweezer’s jam and the Seven Below put this one in four-star territory for me. A few less warts in playing and lyric delivery, and a better encore, would’ve easily put this show in five-star range to my ears.

Rift gets the show rolling, a pretty rare opener, I think. Straight forward but well played version, minus a lyrical flub towards the end. Rock & Roll also takes a weird spot in the 2 slot for the night. I actually don't mind it being played in this spot because it sorta sets the tone for the night. As soon as the jam takes off here you can tell the band is on tonight. Just a tight, type I jam - no one sticks out in particular here, everyone sounds really good.

Guyute comes next. This is one of my favorite compositions by Phish and they do it justice here, like in R&R, all band members are on point. Not much else to say about this one. Driver comes next and seems to be played with a little more gusto than normal. I really like this song played electric as opposed to acoustic & wish they would play this song again.

Waves bats 5th & is a fast paced, up tempo rendition of this favorite Round Room song. A really soaring rendition, sparse on the spaciness, this one has a real hair raising peak to it. I wish they had let this jam go on for a bit more because the transition back into the song proper is a bit rushed, in my humble opinion. Still, this one is well worth a listen.

Simple comes up out of the water and what a glorious simple it is. The jam features some really nice, nimble & soft guitar work by trey, with a strong beat held down by Mike & Fish. Around 12 minutes in this one goes to deep space. Trey and Page add some really nice layers in this spaced-out segment that really keeps the jam interesting. Sometimes, for me, Simple jams can get kinda boring but this one definitely is not in that category. It sort of dissolves towards the end into a swirly mass of sound. This is the high point of the set so far & is must listen material.

Gotta Jibboo closes the set out in fine form. This song gets a bad rap sometimes, but I personally love the open endedness of the song. It reminds me a lot of Runaway Jim in the the jam segment is basically a repeating bass line and drum beat while page and trey add in noise at will. More nimble guitar work from trey here while Page adds some real nice splashes over top of everyone. This jam here has some real direction at about 7:30 in. Trey steps up to lead this one to the heavens and the peak here is sublime.It really picks up into full on rock star mode after 10 minutes or so. Fishman has some really sweet fills here and trey is just going off. Page switches over to a much more funky sound and switching the jam into a full on funk fest. I don't even know what else to say about this song. It's beautiful, funky & rocking. Just do yourself a favor and check it out.

Well that was a pretty incredible first set. Despite the seeming randomness of set list during this tour, this first set delivers. The R&R is a tight ass jam and Simple goes to deep space while Jibboo just tears the house down going into set break. The last two songs are simply A+ Phish.

Set 2 kicks off with a 20 minute, super dark Tweezer. This one doesn't go through too many changes in the jam. Trey has a nice moment around 15 minutes in with his wah pedal. Gordo really stands out towards this section of the jam as well. Trey goes into full on hose mode towards the end and the song peaks very nicely. There's not much particularly amazing or unique about this jam, it's just a really well played, tight and dark Tweezer. Nothing wrong with that.

PYITE is next. At first I thought it seemed like an odd song placement, but then I remembered its Punch & Punch at any point in a show is always welcome. Halfway through the song I changed my mind and decided that I actually really like the 1-2 punch (pun not intended) of these two songs. Well played rendition.

FEFY cools things down after that heater of a half hour to open the set. This is another song I wish they would play more these days, I really do love pretty much all Phish ballads.

Seven Below is the penultimate song of the set, and what a Seven Below it is. The tempo quickly builds up in the jam and there's some fine, full band communication going on here. It stays type I until about 11 minutes in, where it sounds like Mike tries bringing them back into the song but Trey resists a little and then Page, once again, takes the jam in a more funky direction, with Trey adding some real nice rhythmic work here.Page continues to be the MVP of this song as he adds some real nice piano work while

Trey keeps the jam moving in an upward trajectory towards the sky. 17 minutes in or so Trey and Page start to recede into the background a bit as Mike & Fish keep the beat rolling. There's some more nice, nimble guitar work by Trey in this section. The funk picks back up as the tempo continues to increase. Trey shines in this section. Gordon once again begins to reign the jam back into the song proper and this time the rest of the band obliges. This is easily, far and away, the best Seven Below up to this point.

Pebbles & Marbles delivers as the set closer. This is easily my favorite song from Round Room & has some of my favorite lyrics of any Phish song. It's both delicately beautiful & rocking. There's some real nice group interplay here, and while it's a long jam and is pretty strong, I wouldn't say it's overly interesting. A good rendition, for sure, but I'm a bit surprised this got a notation here and the Tweezer didn't. Either way, what an incredible set that was...

Golgi, Anything But Me & Tweeprise close the show out in fine form. You can never go wrong with a triple encore!

Overall, it seem's I chose a great show to write my first review for. From an unexpected Rift/R&R opener, to the spacey Simple & all time Jibboo, through the dark Tweezer and ridiculously funky & exploratory Seven Below, this show is straight A++ material & an easy 5/5 stars in my book.

I remember this night being very chilly, but the excitement of having the boys back in Chicago was palpable. The first set was very good IMO. The waves through jiboo segment felt very inspired.

Tweezer opens the second set in fine form. A little sloppy, but another standard great Feb 03 tweezer. FEFY was really great as they had played it here before the hiatus as well. The 7 below was the highlight for me. This show gets a bad rap, but I think it's one of the more inspired shows of 2003. Great show

I only write about shows, if they move me. The entire second set 2/20/03 is mind blowing, trippy, psychedelic deep Phish as good as it comes in 2003. The Tweezer goes wah wah funk way out for a good infinity and when Fast Enough For You is sung, ground is lifted spirits awakened in Chicagoland. The Sevel Below here is my favorite version ever. The Pebbles and Marbles stopps me in my tracks to chin up, eyes wide open high at the sun and clouds luminous creatures. Oh yes - and the Tweezer is one of the top three of 2003. This PHISH will never die. Thank you Jon, Page, Mike and Trey..........brand sands you, too.

The first set was pretty good. I thought that “Rock and Roll” was pretty "on" for a first set song. The “Simple” jam was long, but kind of repetitive at points. There were also many vocal flubs during this song. The jam had some beautiful parts, but it always seemed as though Trey was trying to get a sound out of his guitar that he couldn't achieve.
The highlight of the first set was “Gotta Jiboo”. I am not really a huge fan of this song, as it is usually a really long Type 1 jam, but this was really good. The jam started off in usual Trey Anastasio Band style, but about ten minutes before the end, things really started to happen. Trey got a really sick guitar lick going on and exploded from there. It was very high energy.
The second set was good, but not great. “Tweezer” started off with oomph, but it really petered out. It was long, but much of the jam involved Trey playing with his pedals and trying to adjust his tone. No melodic jamming whatsoever. It was very similar to a Sonic Youth distortion jam.
The crowd went nuts over “Punch You in the Eye” and so did the band. Easily the best performed song of the night. “7 Below” was very experimental, and there were parts that were interesting, groovy, and melodic — just never at once, which I find is the best part of Phish when it happens.
People seemed surprised by the “Tweezer Reprise”. It really seemed as though the crowd has changed to a beer drinking crowd that is more interested on getting on stage to tackle Trey and throwing lightsticks at the equipment and band than to hear the music. Overall I would give this show a C+.
